<p>We're very excited about <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/international-zine-month/" target="_blank">International Zine Month</a> here at the Ms. Valerie Park Distro and have some plans for celebrating this month, the biggest being to have more zines in stock at one time than ever before! For a while now, we've had about 120 some zines in stock at any given time, with ones selling out and others coming into stock, but we'd like to get 150 zines in stock by the end of the…</p>
<p>We're very excited about <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/international-zine-month/" target="_blank">International Zine Month</a> here at the Ms. Valerie Park Distro and have some plans for celebrating this month, the biggest being to have more zines in stock at one time than ever before! For a while now, we've had about 120 some zines in stock at any given time, with ones selling out and others coming into stock, but we'd like to get 150 zines in stock by the end of the month! This means a lot of reprinting, creating, and finding, but we're excited for the work ahead. </p>
<p>The other plans are still materializing and go hand-in-hand with the <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/international-zine-month/" target="_blank">daily activities</a>, so we'll hold off on saying any more and just embrace what comes.</p>
<p>Big thanks to Alex Wrekk for helping make IZM happen!</p>

<p>I haven't been on We Make Zines in forever. But this year I decided to participate in the International Zine Month events and for the first day I had to sign into my account and write about this month.</p>
<p>I was looking forward to it for about six months now. I broke my elbow and had a surgery around late December and have been out of commission for way too long. I felt useless and couldn't engage in any extensive creative endeavors. But I'm better now and I am so excited for this month…</p>

<p>I was looking forward to it for about six months now. I broke my elbow and had a surgery around late December and have been out of commission for way too long. I felt useless and couldn't engage in any extensive creative endeavors. But I'm better now and I am so excited for this month and having the opportunity to get creative again - try new zine-making techniques, new styles of writing, getting in touch with the worldwide zine community through letter writing, snail mail art and trades, and of course, participating in the 24-Hour Zine Thing challenge for the second year in a row, among many many other amazing activities!</p>
<p>Although I spent a few good posts on my <a href="http://hadass420.wordpress.com">blog</a> lamenting the lack of a zine community in Jerusalem and not being able to attend any zine events, I might have actually found an opportunity for tabling my art and my zines in the center of town at Hataklit Bar on July 26. They're having a second-hand sale of CDs, vinyl records, thrift clothing, used books and some other stuff. I requested a booth for that event. If it works out, I will be there selling my zines, some Mistress Distress CDs, grrrlVIRUS t-shirts, and maybe some art from the Crafts for a Cause shop and donate the profits from these items to the Jerusalem Rape Crisis Center.</p>
<p>So yes, very very excited about the events this month!</p>
<p>I think everybody on We Make Zines should participate.</p>
<p>I will be back on We Make Zines again soon. I am dedicating a day in July to find a new zine or comix I have never heard of and trade. So I'm sure I'll find something awesome here.</p>
<p>You may follow my progress through the IZM activities on my <a href="http://hadass420.wordpress.com">blog</a>.</p>

<p>2012 was a ridiculously active zine year for me. It started with creating the <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/" target="_blank">StolenSharpieRevolution.org</a> site to be a companion to my book.

The site includes a <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/events/" target="_blank">Zine Event listing calendar</a>. In February I attended the first <a href="http://lazinefest.com/" target="_blank">L.A. Zine</a> fest and it was great! In March I attended the <a href="http://chicagozinefest.org/" target="_blank">Chicago Zine Fest</a> and it was really fun. We even had a Zine Organizer's Event where we met with other zine event organizers to talk shop and I released my very first fiction zines (Brainscan #29) as a split with No More Coffee #4. In April I helped the fine folks at <a href="http://www.coachellaartstudios.com/zine-works/" target="_blank">Zine Works run zine workshops at Coachella</a>. I made some really great friends and got to see some great bands for free.</p>
<p>In May I opened a brick and mortar storefront and online shop in Portland, Oregon called <a href="http://www.portlandbuttonworks.com/store/" target="_blank">Portland Button Works</a> and zine distro. <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/international-zine-month/" target="_blank">July was International Zine Month</a> and I created a <a href="http://www.stolensharpierevolution.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/31daysofIZM.jpg" target="_blank">poster of events to do for each day of the month</a>.and participated in the <a href="http://24hourzines.com/" target="_blank">24 hour zine thing</a>. August had the <a href="http://www.pdxzines.com" target="_blank">Portland Zine Symposium</a> that I helped organize and I hosted a bunch of guest at my house. In September I quit volunteering at the <a href="http://www.iprc.org/" target="_blank">Independent Publishing Resource Center</a>after over a decade of volunteering because I just didn't have any more time for it after opening the Portland Button Works shop.</p>
<p>October and November were big months. I had been saving for a UK trip for a few years and somehow we had also planned for <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/thecopyscams" target="_blank">The Copy Scams</a>, our zine themed pop-punk band, to record and tour. We wrote 3 new songs that we hope to release next year. I got to hang out with a lot of my awesome Uk friends and attend the <a href="http://spillthezines.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Leeds Zine Fair</a> and the <a href="http://selondonzines.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">SE London Zine Fest</a>. I kept a bit of a <a href="http://thecopyscams.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">travelogue on tumblr</a> and put out issue #7 of<a href="http://nobodycareszine.libsyn.com/" target="_blank">Nobody Cares About You Stupid Zine Podcast</a>, it's all about trading zine.</p>
<p>So, now it is December and I did a bit of updating to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/teams/6488/team-zine" target="_blank">Etsy Team Zine</a> and my own <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PortlandButtonWorks?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> and changing it over to a <a href="http://www.portlandbuttonworks.com/" target="_blank">Portland Button Works shop</a>. I also hope to work on my new zine this week. It's all typed up and I just need to do layout. I also just signed up for the <a href="http://chicagozinefest.org/" target="_blank">2013 Chicago Zine Fest</a>! Hope to see you there.</p>Day 2 - International Zine Monthtag:wemakezines.ning.com,2012-07-02:2288844:BlogPost:3235962012-07-02T18:37:36.000ZSagehttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/Sage
